    He needs to fire off and stay low every snap!

    Spence and shark had some good moments, D had good penetration on first series. O looked good first series. Very vanilla of course, but some good moments for a few bench players.

    Understood. Still not impressed. It is the first preseason game. It is just hard to get excited.

    Then he goes to looking like he can get handled pretty easily.

    The good thing is he knows hie weakness's and can work on them. He siad if he get low enough he has success if his stance is too high then the linemen can get leverage on him. I hope next week he gets some more reps

    When you want to see what players can do, why are cornerbacks playing 10 yards off in preseason?

    So their 3rd string QB is better than ours, I'll take our 1st string over theirs

    It was pretty popular to make a lot of jokes about Batch and Leftwich a few seasons ago but I think we were pretty lucky to have two guys with their experience backing up Ben. Gradkowski and Jones just don't seem like they could win an NFL game. Say what you want about Batch and Leftwich but they at least started and won their share of games.

    Jones looked like what he was, a decent big time college QB. Grad looked pathetic.

    I've seen enough of Greene as I ever want to see

    I know this isn't going to be well received, especially after that last play, but Jones is looking a lot better this year. Last year he was like a scared squirrel, this year he actually looks like a quarterback. Give the kid some protection and you might have a decent backup.

    After the start of this drive, I was going to say that it looks like Landry is starting to calm down and get into a groove. But then the threw the long ball to Bryant and had the miss to Moye over the middle. Situation has changed. Hopefully with this first down he can make a quick completion and get back into the groove to go the rest of the way.

    Well for those who had a man crush on Jones and those who were accused of hating him, I think all doubt has been eliminated.

    Manziel 6/14 92 yards and 6 runs for 27 yards. Not that bad for a debut.

    Lets be fair here too they aren't running a complex playbook tonight so it isn't exactly like either Jones or Grad are being put in a position to look like they can shoulder the load in a real game
